Abstract

The crystal structure of α-CoSO4 has been refined by the Rietveld method from X-ray powder diffraction data. The structure is orthorhombic, space group Pnma, a = 8.6127(4), b = 6.7058(3), c = 4.7399(2) Å, V = 273.75(3) Å3. Final RB = 2.41%, RP = 5.24%, RWP=6.66%, RWP (expected) =5.74% (WP =weighted profile). The structure consists of edge-sharing octahedral chains parallel to [010] interconnected by SO4 tetrahedra.
